Question to a die hard Silver Spoons fan


Am I right in saying that of all the the main characters, Ricky, the father, Kate, the ex wife, the grandfather, the lawyer, the accountant, and Ricky's friends not ONE of them had any siblings? Meaning no brothers or sisters? Everyone on that show was an only child?

reply

That is a good question. It's hard to answer because I didn't watch it in it's original run and only the first season is out on DVD. However based on the first season-I would say that none of them had any siblings.

It is certain that Ricky had no siblings-since Edward was not married long enough to have more than one Child. Evelyn and Edward were only married 6 days.

Good question though!

Conspiracy therories are cleverly thought out to evade the real truth

Since Dexter was Alfonso's uncle, he had to of had a sibling, who was one of Alfonso's parents.

jt's dad mentions having 3 kids in the episode where edward works at pizza place so jt's dad can take jt to globetrotters game.

I thought of this after I made the post but I will say this though no characters ever had siblings that were shown on the air

reply

Dexter had to have a brother or a sister. Alfonso was his nephew.

Yes, Dexter had a sister, Alfonso's mother. She was never seen, but in one of the Christmas episodes, there was a minor storyline about her not being able to visit Alfonso b/c she was stranded in Africa, where she was doing animal research.

Dexter also had a brother. He was mentioned in Dexter's first episode. I think he won a Nobel Prize or something. Edward thought his name was Stovetop Stuffins.
